Feng Shui
Feng Shui is also known as the Chinese art of placement, is also known as acupuncture for homes. Over the last few years Feng Shui has become very popular in the West, being featured in many newspapers and in bookstore shelves. The idea first sounds some what strange: how can you shift or move your furniture to change your luck? How can you re-position a mirror to bring in more money/wealth? Why does it matter if there are beams over your bed? It sounds confusing. However, if you believe that our homes are full of energy, that is constantly moving, then it makes sense that the lay-out of our homes, and the positioning of furniture with other features, will also affect how the energy flows in our homes.
How Feng Shui Works has evolved around ten thousand years ago in China. The ancient Chinese people believed that invisible life energy (chi) flows through everything in life. It is the energy that moves molecules. Everything on the earth is made of molecules and the role of molecules is to stay in constant motion, they bounce against each other. The molecules are tightly packed and moving too slow for the eye to see. When molecules are father apart, like in wind or water, we can actually see the movement. "Chi" is known as the energy that keeps everything moving. This is the philosophy behind acupuncture. When the energy in your body is flowing freely and easily, you will in turn stay fit and healthy. However, if the energy becomes stagnant, blocked and undisciplined (through bad diet, lifestyle etc) you will most likely become ill. Acupuncture acts by removing the blockages or calming the energy flow - they regulate the chi. This principle is the same as it relates to our homes. The Chinese believe that buildings that we live in require attention just as our bodies, and as such have developed this complex science for "healing" the environment. Centuries of research show that different areas of the home as well different parts of each room attract specific energies.
The Chinese discovered that the layout of rooms as well as the position of furniture or features can help or hinder the free flow of energy. If energy is blocked or is allowed to flow swiftly; it would cause blockages and problems in life. Clutter in your home can "catch" energy, stopping its free circulation and causing it to be dull and stagnant. Avoid sharp corners as they can send energy shooting out, in a strong concentration. A series of open doors can send energy racing through, too fast. A blank wall will stop the energy dead all together. However, the Chinese discovered that very small yet specific changes, such as hanging wind chimes or crystals in certain places or even using certain colors would correct this and put your life back on track. Boosting particular areas with colors and objects can even create better energy and better opportunities in your life. Feng Shui teaches us that by making small changes in your home you can affect changes in your life, from finances, health, relationships, as well as spirituality.
Feng Shui in Business is taken very seriously, not just in China but around the world. to keep ahead of competition and to maintain profits high. Today, businesses are willing to try Feng Shui as a tool to close deals, enhance market share, or expand.
Banks, restaurants and corporations throughout the world have consulted with Feng Shui experts.
Feng Shui Results an example, an Australian hotel was constantly empty until an Oriental firm purchased it and consulted with a Feng Shui expert. The problem was with the staircase: they faced the front doors and the hotel's energy was shooting outwards and as such being lost. The staircase was moved and the hotel's business increased almost immediately.
There was a couple who were on the verge of divorce. They could hardly bear to talk to one another. A Feng Shui consultant checked their house and found the problem in their bedroom. There was a large beam in the ceiling above their bed which effectively divided their bed in half. In Feng Shui, beams are considered to cause quarrels and even ill-health in the people who sleep under them. The consultant advised the couple to move their bed. "Now they are newly in love again," she reports, "the beam was cutting them in half, separating them".
Feng Shui Can Enhance Mnay Areas of Your Life. Feng Shui is very complex. If you have a house with an unusual layout or if your unit is a very odd in shape, you may find it difficult to apply the rules to your own space. You should consider calling a professional Feng Shui consultant.
Feng Shui is based on the idea that certain areas of your home impact specific aspects of your life. When these spaces in your home that effect your finances are cluttered, stagnant, not moving, or missing from your floor plan, it can be difficult to attract money and hold on to it as well.
Poor Feng Shui can lead to increased arguments and miscommunication, can affect your relationships and even affect your reputation at work or hinder your personal growth.

This area can also correspond to your feelings of abundance in general: you might feel "rich" with blessings, full of joie de vivre, with a sense of happy well-being if this area is working well.
FAME: This can apply to true fame or it can show how you are viewed by the outside world: or your social standing. It also aids your self-esteem, confidence, and you will feel good about yourself.
